Reports that Malaysian Airlines possibly Flight MH17 crashed/possibly shot down on Ukraine - Russia border. 777 with 280 passengers and 15 crew. RIP if this is accurate. Aircraft was travelling to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam.

It seems to be firming up as true, God bless them all (But why were aircraft allowed to fly over a region of conflict that has capabilities of hitting aircraft at that height? If the theories of it being hit by a SAM are true)

Multiple aircraft were shot down in the Donetsk aerea. Makes me wonder why airlines still overfly that region. I suppose it is all about cost vs profit

Im speechless.. the 777 had a safety record enviable, and now 2 aircrafts down and from the same airline... to me its not fate, things dont always happen that way. Looking forward for details, for sure they will come. Ustica came on mind too. Sad day today, ciao

Looking forward for details, for sure they will come. Ustica came on mind too. Sad day today, ciao You'd think it was cursed. What was arguably the world's safest airliner has now been involved in 3 fatal accidents in just over 12 months. Asiana 214 was on July 6, 2013. And by coincidence, they're all 777-200ERs (including the one involved in the non-fatal BA38 crash). The last time something similar happened involved the A330-200s. Two crashes within a year, Air France 447 in June 2009 and Afriqiyah 771 in May 2010.
